2024 Willamette Valley ASG Community Sew - Thank You to all that participated

2024 Donations

This year, the CAB decided to give members a wide range of choices as to what to make so that each member can select the items they most enjoy making (and which might allow them to use fabric on hand).  In addition, the CAB recognized that there is ongoing need in the community for some of our prior projects.  Therefore, community sew this year will focus on the following projects:

  • Members in the Bend/Redmond area will make hospice gowns for Hospice of Redmond; burp cloths, bibs, and blankets for Deschutes County Family Health Services and Early Head start; pillowcases for Camp Sunrise; and bonding hearts for NICU babies.
  • Members are encouraged again to make baby items.  In the Salem/Keizer area, these will be distributed to Family Building Blocks.  Family Building Blocks appreciated everything we made last year and says the most needed items are burp cloths, swaddle blankets (with Velcro), and knit baby hats. Members in Albany will be making baby items for the Baby Boutique.  Members in Eugene will be making nursing covers for Dove Medical, blankets for kids in local schools, and baby items for the Relief Nursery in Cottage Grove.
  • There is also an ongoing need for the homeless.  The Safe Sleep women’s shelter in Salem is expanding and adding new beds.  They welcome pillowcases for their new beds.  They and other homeless shelters also appreciate bags (with or without items such as snacks, sanitary items, gloves etc.), hats, and scarves.  
  • We’ll be supporting breast cancer recovery with anti-ouch pouches and padded seatbelt covers.
  • If we have missed a project in your local area, please let Carrie or Claudia know.
  • Please try to keep track of hours spent, number of items donated, and other things donated like fabric so we can report to National.
